    because you all care so m uch about my lawn.

    this is a fairly common yard here

    no, thank you





    that line is noticeable




    yes, please



    seems neighbors I've spoken to about this all say essentially the same thing, just stay on top of it, they appear quickly and die just as fast. letting weeds propagate is bad for clover, grass, and the soil. Ideally wildgrasses that root deeper would be preferencial. but with a limit to grass height, not an opton. each has their opinion on chemicals but given the pup, i'm using vinegar, salt, or boiling water for anything I can't dig up.

    this is why kentucky bluegrass is preferred here, slower growth, denser, better at retaining water
